Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. whooping it up during a cliffhanger of a recent football match between the Philippines and North Korea has given the beautiful game in these parts a big unexpected boost.
The game itself is still trying to be popular in this basketball-crazy country and Marcos cheering the national team Philippine Azkals to a nerve-wracking, come-from-behind 3-2 win last March 29 at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium (RMFS) in Manila should warm the hearts of both football authorities and fans of the game.
